Southampton hosts Manchester United for the fourth round of the English Premier League. The Saints' first duel at home this season resulted in a 2-2 draw against Leeds, as Ralph Hasenhuttl's squad came back from a 0-2 result. Southampton's form at the St Mary's Stadium has been quite poor in the past months, winning only two of the previous ten matches played here. This team is on a two-game winning streak, defeating Cambridge United 3-0 in the EFL Cup second round, while also coming back from a one-goal deficit vs. Leicester to win 2-1 away from home.

However, Manchester United comes to this clash motivated and ambitious, as Erik ten Hag's men got their first win of the season vs. their biggest rivals, Liverpool. Also, United's midfield will be joined by this year's La Liga and the UEFA Champions League winner, Casemiro. He is a phenomenal signing for the Red Devils, as this squad had a problem missing a good defensive midfielder. Casemiro is arguably the best defensive midfielder in the World, and there is no doubt his presence will do a lot for the visitors' defense, a part of the game where they struggle the most.

The hosts miss Romain Perraud and Valentino Livramento ahead of this match, and these two players' absences will certainly be felt on the field. On the other side, the guests miss four players, who are however not in the starting eleven, those being Anthony Martial, Facundo Pellistri, Brandon Williams, and Victor Lindelof.

Southampton's last triumph vs. Manchester United on this ground took place back in 2003, nineteen years ago. Last year, United beat this squad 9-0 at Old Trafford, which was also this club's most dominant victory that season. I expect the visitors to win here, considering everything stated above. Good luck!

南安普顿将在英超联赛第四轮主场迎战曼联。圣徒队本赛季在主场的首次对决以 2-2 战平利兹联，而拉尔夫·哈森胡特尔的球队则以 0-2 的比分扳回一城。在过去的几个月里，南安普顿在圣玛丽球场的状态一直很差，在过去的十场比赛中只赢了两场。这支球队两连胜，在联赛杯第二轮3-0击败剑桥联队，同时也在客场2-1战胜莱斯特城的情况下逆转。

然而，曼联在这场冲突中充满动力和雄心壮志，因为埃里克十哈格的手下在对阵他们最大的对手利物浦的比赛中取得了本赛季的首场胜利。此外，今年的西甲联赛和欧洲冠军联赛冠军卡塞米罗也将加入曼联的中场。对于红魔来说，他是一笔非凡的签约，因为这支球队在缺少一名优秀的防守型中场球员时遇到了问题。卡塞米罗可以说是最好的防守型中场在世界范围内，毫无疑问，他的存在将为客队的防守做出很多贡献，这是他们最挣扎的比赛的一部分。

主队在这场比赛前错过了罗曼·佩罗和瓦伦蒂诺·利夫拉门托，这两位球员的缺席肯定会在场上感受到。另一方面，客人们错过了四名球员，但他们不在首发十一人中，他们是安东尼·马夏尔、法昆多·佩利斯特里、​​布兰登·威廉姆斯和维克多·林德洛夫。

南安普顿上一次在这片土地上战胜曼联是在 2003 年，也就是 19 年前。去年，曼联在老特拉福德9-0击败了这支球队，这也是这支俱乐部那个赛季最具统治力的胜利。考虑到上述所有因素，我预测客队获胜。祝好运！
